In the decent of man from apes, one of the defining differences between our early ancestors and apes was the ability craft (and I’m going to assume, select) tools for specific tasks. The great apes were already able to use objects to assist in their normal routines. The asshole who broke in to my van must fall somewhere between our early ancestors and apes because he only brought a single tool, a flathead screwdriver, to steal my stereo. This short-sightedness on his part (once again, going to assume) meant that instead of unscrewing 4 Philips-head screws to remove the stereo, he had to torque the stereo out of its frame, ultimately destroying the dashboard and breaking the circuit board of the stereo and cracking the interface for the removable face, rendering the stereo completely useless.
It’s entirely possible that he did bring more than one tool, but his speed-addled brain didn’t want to finesse it out for fear that it might add hours (or seconds) on to the job. So, after destroying the dashboard, the two main vents, the small (and probably expensive) triangular window, my stereo, the antenna cable and mounting frame, he bolted. The inept f*cktard only managed to do upwards of a thousand dollars in damage without accomplishing anything. I guess a flunky is a flunky is a flunky.
Damn Dude, That Sucks!
Andy, that is so awful. I’m sorry – what a horrible violation of your space and belongings. I agree, a definite f*cktard!
That sucks man. Luckily the only violation my car ever faced were two tires getting slashed. I guess that did end up costing me about $100 though. Sucks to hear about so much on the inside getting destroyed. Tom is replacing some of his dash right now (though he destroyed that on his own) and it is costing a pretty penny.
See … this is why i belive in ‘hot-wiring’ ones vehicle like my grandfather wires his garbage cans to keep the cats out … hook up a cattle-fencer … the kind that give you a nice little 200 watt jolt when you grab hold of the handle! Would serve the little F*CKtard right!!!
